PURPOSE ^

optimise magnetic structure using the steepest descendend method

SYNOPSIS ^

function varargout = optmagsteep(obj, varargin)

DESCRIPTION ^

 optimise magnetic structure using the steepest descendend method

 OPTMAGSTEEP(obj, 'option1', value1 ...)

 The function cannot deal with single ion anisotropy and incommensurate
 structures at the present state. These features will come soon.


 Input:

 obj             Input object contains structural data, sw type.

 Options:

 nRun      Number of iterations, default is 100 (it is usually enough).
 boundary  Boundary conditions of the extended unit cell.
               'free'  Free, interactions between extedned unit cells are
                       omitted.
               'per'   Periodic, interactions between extended unit cells
                       are retained.
           Default is {'per' 'per' 'per'}.
 nExt      The size of the magnetic cell in number of unit cells, to
           provide input information to 'fStat'.
           Default is from obj.mag_str.N_ext.
 fSub      Function to define sublattices for Monte-Carlo speedup.
           cGraph = fSub(conn,nExt), where cGraph is a (1,nMagExt) sized
           vector, conn is a (2,nConn) size matrix and nExt is equal to
           'nExt'. Default is <a href="matlab: doc sw_fsub">@sw_fsub</a>
 subLat    Vector that assigns all magnetic moments into non-interacting
           sublattices, contains a single index (1,2,3...) for every
           magnetic moment, size is (1,nMagExt). If undefined, the
           function defined in 'fSub' will be used to partition the
           lattice.
 random    Random initial conditions, if initial spin configuration
           is undefined (obj.mag_str.S is empty) the initial configuration
           is automaticly random independently of the value of random.
           Default is false.

 Output:

 E         If requested, calculates the energy after every iteration, the
           calculation makes the script very slow.
